One Week-- Part 4: Steak Fry, The Grove, Bricks & Ivy, Gazebo and Legion Picnic

SATURDAY, AUGUST 17

We went to the Spring Grove Firemen's annual steak fry at Horse Fair Park.  Always good to support your local fire department.  It cost $20 for a large ribeye, baked potato, cole slaw, roll, ear of corn and pie.  We could not finish it.

We decided to make this a Spring Grove evening so stayed in town and went to The Grove and after that to Bricks & Ivy for cocktails.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 18

Bob Stroud played Woodstock at 50 on his Rock and Roll Roots show on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, the Drive this morning.  It was music from the movie and on the radio fifty years ago.  I will be listing the songs he played as a future time in my Down da Road I Go blog.

Read the Tribune in the gazebo and then we went to the Fox Lake American Legion picnic and spent all afternoon.  Great food, beer and we had a solo guy entertaining.  All free.

Real Good Time.  --RoadDog
